\begin{taskinfo} \let\UPMC\leader \let\ALL\enable \end{taskinfo} % \begin{objectif} This task deals with the main features of digital systems. Its objectives are the specification of the designer input, the definition of the hardware architectural templates and of all the features that the HAS tools will share. \end{objectif} % \begin{workpackage} \subtask{Specification of the COACH environment} This \ST specifies the COACH environment for the system designer. In this \ST the COACH framework is a black box. The deliverables are documents specifying: how to feed COACH (the inputs), how to use COACH (use model), what is generated (the outputs). %(definition of the generic architecture of the %MPSoC and its 3 targets hardware mapping). \begin{livrable} \CoutHorsD{0}{12}{\Sbull}{User specification}{3:0:0} \itemV{0}{6}{d}{\Supmc}{COACH specification} \setMacroInAuxFile{specGenManualI} The first version of the COACH specification. This document contains the general description of the framework, the use model and the description of the architectural templates. It refers to the HAS specification (deliverable {\specHasManual}) and to the CSG specifcation (deliverable \specCsgManual) for the COACH input descriptions. \itemL{6}{12}{d}{\Supmc}{COACH specification}{1:0:0} \setMacroInAuxFile{specGenManual} The final version of the {\specGenManualI} deliverable updated with the first feed-backs of the demonstrator \STs. \itemV{0}{6}{d}{\Stima}{CSG specification} \setMacroInAuxFile{specCsgManualI} The first version of the CSG (COACH System Generator) specification. It specifies how the task graph is described, the communication schemes and its associated API (Application Programming Interface). The base is the SRL library and the MWMR communication component defined by the SocLib ANR project. Nevertheless, these basic schemes will be enhanced to allow more efficient synthesis. \itemL{6}{12}{d}{\Stima}{CSG specification}{1:0:0} \setMacroInAuxFile{specCsgManual} The final version of the {\specGenManualI} deliverable updated with the first feed-backs of the demonstrator \STs. \itemV{0}{6}{d}{\Subs}{HAS specification} \setMacroInAuxFile{specHasManualI} The first version of the HAS (Hardware Accelerator Synthesis) specification. It specifies how tasks must be written (C/C++ subset) and how communication schemes defined in the {\specCsgManual} deliverable must be described for coprocessor synthesis. \itemL{6}{12}{d}{\Subs}{HAS specification}{2:0:0} \setMacroInAuxFile{specHasManual} The final version of the {\specGenManualI} deliverable updated with the first feed-backs of the demonstrator \STs. \end{livrable} \subtask{Internal software structure} This \ST specifies the COACH software structure.

The first one C2X is a GCC plugin that generates a \xcoach description (defined in {\specXcoachDocI} deliverable) from a C/C++ task description (defined in {\specHasManual} deliverable). The second one X2C regenerates a C description from a \xcoach description. % TACHE INCLUSE mais non decrite; Specification of the GCC driver tool. \itemL{12}{18}{x}{\Subs}{C2X tool}{4:2:0} \setMacroInAuxFile{specXcoachToCA} An updated version of C2X and X2C (\specXcoachToCAI) which supports the \xcoach format defined in the {\specXcoachDoc} deliverable and the HAS input format defined in the {\specHasManual} deliverable. % \itemV{7}{12}{x}{\Subs}{First release of X2C} % \setMacroInAuxFile{specXcoachToCBI} % This second tool X2C regenerates a C description from a \xcoach % description. % \itemL{12}{18}{x}{\Subs}{X2C tool}{2:1:0} % \setMacroInAuxFile{specXcoachToCB} % The same software as the former (\specXcoachToCBI) but for the \xcoach format as defined % in the {\specXcoachDoc} deliverable and HAS input as defined in the {\specHasManual} % deliverable. \itemV{12}{18}{x}{\Supmc}{First release of X2SC} \setMacroInAuxFile{specXcoachToSystemCI} The first release of the software tool X2SC that translates \xcoachplus description to CABA and TLM-DT SystemC module. \itemL{18}{24}{x}{\Supmc}{X2SC tool}{0:2:0} \setMacroInAuxFile{specXcoachToSystemC} Final release of the former software (\specXcoachToSystemCI). \itemV{12}{18}{x}{\Subs}{First release of the X2VHDL} \setMacroInAuxFile{specXcoachToVhdlI} The first release of the software tool X2VHDL that translates \xcoachplus description to synthesizable VHDL description. \itemL{18}{24}{x}{\Subs}{X2VHDL tool}{0:3:0} \setMacroInAuxFile{specXcoachToVhdl} Final release of the former software (\specXcoachToVhdlI) and integration of enhancements proposed in \novers{\specXilinxOptimization} deliverable. \end{livrable} % TACHE INCLUSE SANS X2C & C2X %\subtask This \ST aims to define a tool in order to pilot the GCC/xcoach compiler. % \begin{livrable} % \itemL{0}{3}{d}{\Subs}{GCC driver specification}{1:0:0} % Specification of the GCC driver tool. % \itemV{3}{9}{x}{\Subs}{GCC driver} % First release of the GCC driver tool. % %en T0+18 car va peut etre evoluer en fonction du DSE ยต-archi % \itemL{9}{12}{x}{\Subs}{GCC driver}{3:0:0} % Final release of the GCC driver tool. % \end{livrable} \subtask{Tool for cell library creation} Backend HLS tools use a characterized macro-cell library to build the micro-architecture of a coprocessor. The characterisation of a cell depends on the target device. The role of this \ST is to define the macro-cells and to provite a tool that characterizes them automatically by synthesizing them and by extracting their delays. This is done by using RTL synthesis. \begin{livrable} \itemL{0}{6}{d}{\Subs}{Macro-cell definition}{1:0:0} \setMacroInAuxFile{specMacroCell} Definition of the macro cells and the file format describing them. \itemL{6}{12}{x}{\Subs}{Macro-cell library generator}{2:0:0} Final release of the software tool that generates automatically the characterized macro-cell library for a FPGA device. \end{livrable} \end{workpackage}
